Redemption Memory
I still remember the sound of your voice calling out my
name
And I still remember my face examining itself, knowing
things would never be the same
I still remember your smiling face across a crowded
room
And I still remember, through the weathering of time,
that first embrace that sealed our doom
Your eyes stare at me, from every storefront
And your voice calls to me from every restaurant
And your laughter pierces me as I stand beneath the
open sky
And your absence murders me as I sleep perchance to die
Seems like to escape is what I ought to do
But every road I take brings me back to you
I am frozen in the moment
clinging to your memory
And I don’t want the ignorance that a spotless mind
would bring
But I’m scared my dying breath may be your name
It’s just like I sang to you – everyone knows that we
live in a world
Where people give bad names to beautiful things
And if it’s really true that people should leave once
they’ve
Got what they came for, I certainly hope that you’re
holding it close to you now
I am frozen in the moment
clinging to your memory
And I don’t want the ignorance that a spotless mind
would bring
But I’m scared my dying breath may be your name
I still remember the sunlight on your face that warm
November day
And I still remember, my heartbeat quickened by desire,
unaware of prices I would pay
I still remember the closing door the night we said
goodbye
And I still remember losing you for good and knowing
that a part of me had died
Seems like to escape is what I ought to do
But every road I take brings me back to you
I am frozen in the moment
(Please do not forget me)
clinging to your memory
('Cause I will not forget you)
And I don’t want the ignorance that a spotless mind
would bring
But I’m scared my dying breath may be your name
Please let me be frozen in the moment
Let me hold on to those memories
And I pray that things will be alright
and I pray you’ll think of me tonight
And I know somehow I’ll be alright
And I hope that you’re the same…
But I’m scared my dying breath may be your name
